Call for Articles for IEEE Computer
Computer seeks submissions for a June 2014 special issue on
methodologies and solutions for mobile application security.

With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices, mobile application security has
become an important research topic. Compared with personal computers or
servers, mobile devices store much more sensitive personal information and
are thus attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain. Because
these devices are always online and have a restricted user interface, it is
easier for attackers to hide their malicious activities.

This special issue aims to present high-quality articles describing security
algorithms, protocols, policies, and frameworks for applications running on
modern mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Only
submissions describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art
research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will
be considered.

Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of
computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory,
mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to
peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer?s readership.
Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style.
